There seems to be a heightened sense of excitement around the holidays this year as people host gatherings more than they did during 2020. Families are putting extra effort into decorating and updating their homes as they welcome guests for the holidays.
So, how can you keep up with the decorating trends, stay true to your budget and make the holiday magical? I am here to help with tips and shoppable items that will not only fit your vibe but also won’t break the bank. My name is Shahla, I am the owner of Treehouse Threads, a lifestyle blog, and it’s one of my jobs to forecast the latest holiday trends. The most important style tip that I can share is: Stay true to yourself! Trends will come and go, and there are many different holiday style trends. Choosing a style that matches your vibe is what is guaranteed to make your home feel cozy and inviting for the holidays.
I love finding affordable ways to help you capture the magic at home, whether you are looking for inspiration for an entirely new holiday look or updating a few decor items to help you feel more inspired. Here are the top three holiday trends for 2021 and tips on how you can decorate beautifully on a budget this year.
The Neutral Palette
If you prefer to keep your home decor simple with muted colors, you can stay neutral and capture that whimsical holiday feeling. When decorating with a neutral palette, I incorporate natural elements, such as greenery and wood, with cozy textiles. This year we are seeing a lot of boucle fabrics styled with rattan and cane. Look for natural tree collars and baskets or neutral-toned stockings made of cozy knits. Mix these items with some piney greens or a flocked tree, and you have created the ultimate calm and cozy holiday at home.

The Colorful Holiday
This trend is perfect for the maximalist who does not shy away from color. This year, we are seeing more pinks and other vibrant tones mixed together for the ultimate kitschy holiday celebration. When decorating a colorful holiday scheme, look for jewel-toned wreaths, oversized ornaments and colorful bottle brush or glass trees to add to your tabletop. This style definitely shouts "the more the merrier," so don't shy away from mixing colors and textiles to up the festive factor.

The Glamour Lover
For those who love a glam-themed holiday, you absolutely can add luxe without paying luxuriously. First, choose a luxe color scheme, like black and ivory with gold accents. Then, build your look by incorporating faux fur, brass accents and some sparkle. Gold and brass can be incorporated through flatware, wrapping paper and gold frame mirrors. Pull out that gold bar cart, stock it with gorgeous glassware and dinnerware and get ready to shine.
